While more and more Americans are opting for the childfree lifestyle for various reasons, the pressure to have kids is still enormous. No wonder so many couples feel constant stress from the inconsiderate and nosy family members and friends who never miss a chance to ask that one annoying question.
“Friends and family are causing us constant stress about having a baby soon but it’s obviously something we can’t control. We only wished that they’d stop but to no avail,” the woman who’s been married for 6 years wrote in this recent post on r/AITA.
So she came up with an unusual idea – the “Pregnancy Jar.” The author said she carries it with her in her bag whenever she’s with friends and family. “Every time someone asks about when my husband and I are gonna have a baby, I pull my Jar out and ask them to drop a dollar in there for asking.” Puzzled looks follow, but the author said it actually works.
But just last week, family drama over the “Pregnancy Jar” blew up after the author’s brother asked you-know-what. Read below to find out how the drama evolved, and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments.
